JFLIP Program

Aim of the Program

This is a free program for children who engage in unsafe fire-lighting behaviour, either in the home or elsewhere. The content of the program is tailored to the age and maturity of the participating children .

Who delivers the Program?

The Tasmania Fire Service has a number of professional firefighters trained to work in this specialised area.

How is the Program Taught?

Firefighters teach participating children through role playing, discussions and other interactive activities. The firefighters build a relationship of trust with the children and together with the childrens' parents they instil a respect for fire and an understanding of the negative consequences of fire-lighting.
